Property Description

Cottage Oasis with Views on San Francisco's Iconic Vulcan Stairway! Enchanting bungalow on a fabled stairway with an east-facing panoramic view of the Bay. This rare 1-bedroom plus office and study, 1-bath detached single-family home offers a place apart in the middle of the City, a peaceful retreat above the fray. Tucked away on one of San Francisco's most enchanting and exclusive pedestrian streets, the home sits along the storied, garden-lined Vulcan Stairway, where elevated neighborhood and city outlooks create a true sense of privacy and calm. Wake each morning under the redwoods to birdsong and fall asleep in absolute silence, worlds away from the bustle below. Natural light, open skies, and hillside charm define the experience, while two private garden spaces provide idyllic settings for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or evening cocktails surrounded by greenery. Set on the hillside between Cole Valley and the vibrant Castro District, just under the peak of Corona Heights, the location feels both central and wonderfully hidden, equidistant from the Beach, the Ferry Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Pier 70. The pedestrian-only environment offers a scenic walk through nature up or down to the nearest street, fostering a tranquil, village-like atmosphere rarely found in the city, yet still accessible to cafes, boutiques, dining, nightlife, parks, and public transportation. An unconventional home. A secret hideaway. A sanctuary for the soul. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless character, water and East Bay views, and intimate indoor-outdoor living in one of San Francisco's most magical enclaves.
